The UK’s Tyne Tunnel is experiencing in the areas of traffic management and public safety, following the deployment of new Verint video surveillance software.

The Tyne Tunnel comprises two high-volume vehicular toll tunnels running under the River Tyne in north-east England that form part of the A19 road and that are managed by the TT2 agency.

TT2 is utilising the latest version of Verint’s enterprise video management software (537 VMS) in its command centre that provides 24/7 traffic monitoring and emergency management for the more than 65,000 cars that pass through the tunnels each day. Verint’s VMS solution serves as the TT2’s centralised management platform for its tunnel surveillance infrastructure.

According to Verint, since implementing the new platform, Tyne Tunnels and TT2 report that they are experiencing new levels of situational awareness and efficiency and benefitting from heightened intelligence and awareness within the structures. The additional insight s enables TT2 and its operators are able to more effectively identify and respond to traffic issues; minimise operational disruptions, such as stopped vehicles; and make faster and more informed decisions in emergency response situations.
